I have posted alot, so I will answer. I am not upset, but I simply tried to point out what actions the author took, that precluded me from purchasing his work (and I assume, may preclude others for the same reason). I don't read from Amazon or iTunes, and I won't use Paypal.
I really wanted to point out to him and potentially other authors how easy it is to lose a sale after you have done all the hard work taken to get your book recognized and an individual to the point of sale.
Honestly, I don't know why people keep thinking when you point these things out your upset. If I never buy the book, and never read it, I won't be any worse off. As I have said before, no harm, no foul.
However, I also don't think an author who doesn't do everything possible to allow people to purchase his work, can claim he tried to sell e-books, but the market wasn't there. It might have been, and he cut it off and couldn't meet the numbers he wanted. Of course, I may be an outlier, and he doesn't miss my business, again, all is good.
